• The refrigerant used by this air conditioner is the R410A.
• You shall ensure that the air conditioner is transported in stable condition.

Selection of installation location

• If you install the unit in a small room, take appropriate measures to prevent the refrigerant from exceeding the limit
concentration even if it leaks. Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the air conditioner when you implement the
measures. Accumulation of highly concentrated refrigerant may cause an oxygen deficiency accident.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to a risk of expire to a combustible gas. If a combustible
gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
• When transporting the air conditioner, wear shoes with additional protective toe caps.
• When transporting the air conditioner, do not take hold of the bands around the packing carton. You may injure yourself if the
bands should break.
• Install the indoor unit at least 2.5 m above the floor level since otherwise the users may injure themselves or receive electric
shocks if they poke their fingers or other objects into the indoor unit while the air conditioner is running.
• Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to the wind of air conditioner, otherwise it may
cause imperfect combustion.

Installation
• When the indoor unit is to be suspended, the designated hanging bolts (M10 or W3/8) and nuts (M10 or W3/8) must be
used.
• Install the air conditioner at enough strong places to withstand the weight of the unit. If the strength is not enough, the unit
may fall down resulting in injury.
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Manual to install the air conditioner. Failure to follow these instructions may cause

• The designated bolts (M10, M12) and nuts (M10, M12) for securing the outdoor unit must be used when installing the unit.
• Install the outdoor unit property in a location that is durable enough to support the weight of the outdoor unit. Insufficient
durability may cause the outdoor unit to fall, which may result in injury.

EN-4 4
Super Digital Inverter

Refrigerant piping
• Install the refrigerant pipe securely during the installation work before operating the air conditioner. If the compressor is
operated with the valve open and without refrigerant pipe, the compressor sucks air and the refrigeration cycles is over
pressurized, which may cause a injury.
• Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner. Excessive tighten of the flare nut may cause a crack in
the flare nut after a long period, which may result in refrigerant leakage.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak. If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a
fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas may be generated.
• When the air conditioner has been installed or relocated, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and purge the air
completely so that no gases other than the refrigerant will be mixed in the refrigerating cycle. Failure to purge the air
completely may cause the air conditioner to malfunction.
• Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test.
• The charge hose must be connected in such a way that it is not slack.

Electrical wiring
• Only a qualified installer(*1) or qualified service person(*1) is allowed to carry out the electrical work of the air conditioner.
Under no circumstances must this work be done by an unqualified individual since failure to carry out the work properly may
result in electric shocks and/or electrical leaks.
• When connecting the electrical wires, repairing the electrical parts or undertaking other electrical jobs, wear gloves to
provide protection for electricians and from heat, insulating shoes and clothing to provide protection from electric shocks.
Failure to wear this protective gear may result in electric shocks.
• Use wiring that meets the specifications in the Installation Manual and the stipulations in the local regulations and laws. Use
of wiring which does not meet the specifications may give rise to electric shocks, electrical leakage, smoking and/or a fire.
• Be sure to connect earth wire. (Grounding work)
Incomplete grounding causes an electric shock.
• Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, and lightning rods or ground wires for telephone wires.
• After completing the repair or relocation work, check that the ground wires are connected properly.
• Install a circuit breaker that meets the specifications in the installation manual and the stipulations in the local regulations
and laws.
• Install the circuit breaker where it can be easily accessed by the agent.
• When installing the circuit breaker outdoors, install one which is designed to be used outdoors.
• Under no circumstances must the power cable be extended. Connection trouble in the places where the cable is extended
may give rise to smoking and/or a fire.

Test run
• Before operating the air conditioner after having completed the work, check that the electrical parts box cover of the indoor
unit and service panel of the outdoor unit are closed, and set the circuit breaker to the ON position. You may receive an
electric shock if the power is turned on without first conducting these checks.
• When you have noticed that some kind of trouble (such as when an error display has appeared, there is a smell of burning,
abnormal sounds are heard, the air conditioner fails to cool or heat or water is leaking) has occurred in the air conditioner, do
not touch the air conditioner yourself but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a qualified service person.
Take steps to ensure that the power will not be turned on (by marking “out of service” near the circuit breaker, for instance)
until qualified service person arrives. Continuing to use the air conditioner in the trouble status may cause mechanical
problems to escalate or result in electric shocks, etc.
• After the work has finished, be sure to use an insulation tester set (500V Megger) to check the resistance is 2 Mȍ or more
between the charge section and the non-charge metal section (Earth section). If the resistance value is low, a disaster such
as a leak or electric shock is caused at user’s side.
• Upon completion of the installation work, check for refrigerant leaks and check the insulation resistance and water drainage.
Then conduct a test run to check that the air conditioner is operating properly.

5 5-EN
Super Digital Inverter

Explanations given to user

• Upon completion of the installation work, tell the user where the circuit breaker is located. If the user does not know where
the circuit breaker is, he or she will not be able to turn it off in the event that trouble has occurred in the air conditioner.
• If you have discovered that the fan grille is damaged, do not approach the outdoor unit but set the circuit breaker to the OFF
position, and contact a qualified service person to have the repairs done. Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position
until the repairs are completed.
• After the installation work, follow the Owner’s Manual to explain to the customer how to use and maintain the unit.

Relocation
• Only a qualified installer(*1) or qualified service person(*1) is allowed to relocate the air conditioner. It is dangerous for the
air conditioner to be relocated by an unqualified individual since a fire, electric shocks, injury, water leakage, noise and/or
vibration may result.
• When carrying out the pump-down work shut down the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipe. Disconnecting
the refrigerant pipe with the service valve left open and the compressor still operating will cause air, etc. to be sucked in,
raising the pressure inside the refrigeration cycle to an abnormally high level, and possibly resulting in reputing, injury, etc.

8 EARTHING
Connect the earth line properly following applicable technical standards.
Connecting the earth line is essential to preventing electric shock and to reducing noise and electrical charges on the outdoor
unit surface due to the high-frequency wave generated by the frequency converter (inverter) in the outdoor unit.
If you touch the charged outdoor unit without an earth line, you may experience an electric shock.

9 FINISHING
After the refrigerant pipe, inter-unit wires, and drain pipe have been connected, cover them with finishing tape and clamp them
to the wall with off-the-shelf support brackets or their equivalent.
Keep the power wires and indoor/outdoor connecting wires off the valve on the gas side or pipes that have no heat insulator.

10 TEST RUN
• Turn on the leakage breaker at least 12 hours before starting a test run to protect the compressor during startup.
To protect the compressor, power is supplied from the 380-415 VAC input to the unit to preheat the compressor.
• Check the following before starting a test run:
• That all pipes are connected securely without leaks.
• That the valve is open.
If the compressor is operated with the valve closed, the outdoor unit will become overpressurized, which may damage the
compressor or other components.
If there is a leak at a connection, air can be sucked in and the internal pressure further increases, which may cause a burst
or injury.
• Operate the air conditioner in the correct procedure as specified in the Owner’s Manual.

11 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
• For an air conditioning system that is operated on a regular basis, cleaning and maintenance of the indoor/outdoor units are
strongly recommended.
As a general rule, if an indoor unit is operated for about 8 hours daily, the indoor/outdoor units will need to be cleaned at
least once every 3 months. This cleaning and maintenance should be carried out by a qualified service person.
Failure to clean the indoor/outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, icing, water leaking and even compressor
failure.

12 AIR CONDITIONER OPERATING CONDITIONS

For proper performance, operate the air conditioner under the following temperature conditions:

Cooling operation Dry bulb temp. –15°C to 46°C

Heating operation Wet bulb temp. –20°C to 15°C

If air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, safety protection may work.

13 FUNCTIONS TO BE IMPLEMENTED LOCALLY

„ Handling Existing Pipe
When using the existing pipe, carefully check for the
following:
• Wall thickness (within the specified range)
• Scratches and dents
• Water, oil, dirt, or dust in the pipe
• Flare looseness and leakage from welds
• Deterioration of copper pipe and heat insulator
Cautions for using existing pipe
• Do not reuse a flare nut to prevent gas leaks.
Replace it with the supplied flare nut and then process it
to a flare.
• Blow nitrogen gas or use an appropriate means to keep
the inside of the pipe clean. If discolored oil or much
residue is discharged, wash the pipe.
• Check welds, if any, on the pipe for gas leaks.
When the pipe corresponds to any of the following, do not
use it. Install a new pipe instead.
• The pipe has been opened (disconnected from indoor
unit or outdoor unit) for a long period.
„ Recovering Refrigerant
• Use refrigerant recovery switch SW801 on the P.C. board
of the outdoor unit to recover refrigerant when the indoor
or outdoor unit is moved.
• Before recovering the refrigerant in the existing system,

15 APPENDIX
Work instructions
The existing R22 and R407C piping can be reused for our
digital inverter R410A product installations.
WARNING
Confirming the existence of scratches or dents on the
existing pipes and confirming the reliability of the pipe
strength are conventionally referred to the local site.
If the specified conditions can be cleared, it is possible
to update existing R22 and R407C pipes to those for
R410A models.
Basic conditions needed to reuse existing pipes
Check and observe the presence of three conditions in the
refrigerant piping works.
1. Dry (There is no moisture inside of the pipes.)
2. Clean (There is no dust inside of the pipes.)
3. Tight (There are no refrigerant leaks.)
Restrictions for use of existing pipes
In the following cases, the existing pipes should not be
reused as they are. Clean the existing pipes or exchange
them with new pipes.
1. When a scratch or dent is heavy, be sure to use new
pipes for the refrigerant piping works.
2. When the existing pipe thickness is thinner than the
specified “Pipe diameter and thickness,” be sure to use
new pipes for the refrigerant piping works.
• The operating pressure of R410A is high (1.6 times
that of R22 and R407C). If there is a scratch or dent on
the pipe or a thinner pipe is used, the pressure strength
may be inadequate, which may cause the pipe to break
in the worst case.

thickness is less than 0.7 mm, be sure to use new
pipes for the refrigerant piping works.
3. When the outdoor unit was left with the pipes
disconnected, or the gas leaked from the pipes and the
pipes were not repaired and refilled.
• There is the possibility of rain water or air, including
moisture, entering the pipe.
4. When refrigerant cannot be recovered using a refrigerant
recovery unit.
• There is the possibility that a large quantity of dirty oil
or moisture remains inside the pipes.
5. When a commercially available dryer is attached to the
existing pipes.
• There is the possibility that copper green rust has been
generated.
EN-28 28
6. When the existing air conditioner is removed after
refrigerant has been recovered.
Check if the oil is judged to be clearly different from
normal oil.
• The refrigerator oil is copper rust green in color:
There is the possibility that moisture has mixed with the
oil and rust has been generated inside the pipe.
• There is discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, or a
bad smell.
• A large quantity of shiny metal dust or other wear
residue can be seen in the refrigerant oil.
7. When the air conditioner has a history of the compressor
failing and being replaced.
• When discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, shiny
metal dust, or other wear residue or mixture of foreign
matter is observed, trouble will occur.
8. When temporary installation and removal of the air
conditioner are repeated such as when leased etc.
9. If the type of refrigerator oil of the existing air conditioner
is other than the following oil (Mineral oil), Suniso, Freol-
S, MS (Synthetic oil), alkyl benzene (HAB, Barrel-freeze),
ester series, PVE only of ether series.
• The winding-insulation of the compressor may
deteriorate.
NOTE
The above descriptions are results have been confirmed by
our company and represent our views on our air
conditioners, but do not guarantee the use of the existing
pipes of air conditioners that have adopted R410A in other
companies.
Branching pipe for simultaneous operation system
• In the concurrent twin system, when TOSHIBA has
specified that branching pipe is to be used, it can be
reused.
Branching pipe model name:
RBC-TWP30E2, RBC-TWP50E2, RBC-TRP100E
On the existing air conditioner for simultaneous operation
system (twin, triple system), there are cases of branch
pipes being used that have insufficient compressive
strength.
In such case, please change the piping to a branch pipe
for R410A.
Curing of pipes
When removing and opening the indoor or outdoor unit for a
long time, cure the pipes as follows:
• Otherwise rust may be generated when moisture or
foreign matter due to condensation enters the pipes.
• The rust cannot be removed by cleaning, and new pipes
are necessary.
